Mazuri Rat & Mouse Food provides your furry friend with the necessary nutrients he needs for tons of playtime fun. The vegetable-based formula is made with vitamin E, flaxseed and even dried yucca schidigera, an extract known to reduce stool and urine odor. Packed with natural vitamins and minerals, this highly nutritious food is designed to be a complete diet for either your breeding or non-breeding pet. Whether you’re feeding your rat companion or petite-size mouse pal, this pellet-form food is easy to administer and even helps minimize waste.
Feed free choice to rats and mice, along with plenty of fresh clean water. Supplemental food items (grasses, vegetables, fruits, and seeds) may be provided, but should not make up more than 20% of the diet. Diets containing higher amounts of fruits, seeds, and other high calorie treats may predispose animals to obesity and other nutritional health disorders. The amount of food consumed will vary due to size of the animal and life stage.
Rats: Adult rats generally consume 16 - 25 grams of feed per day (approx. 4 to 6 pellets)
Mice: Adult mice generally consume 4 - 5 grams of feed per day (approx. 1 to 2 pellets)
Thoroughly wash feeding and watering bowls on a regular basis. It is always a good practice to wash hands thoroughly after feeding and/or handling pets. This diet is not for human consumption.

Absolutely amazing
This food is absolutely amazing, it's a very balanced diet and it's very affordable for people who may be low income and have rats/mice. I absolutely love this food and I highly recommend you buy it for your rats or mice. <3

A must for hamster owners
Although these weren't made with hamsters in mind, these are great for them and should be a staple in their diet. These are also the most easily accessible lab block on the market that you can find for your hamster. If you have a hamster or are planning to adopt one, make sure you have these to give alongside a seed mix!

Smashed powder in a bag
I received this bag partially crushed so a lot of it is just dust and was a huge waste of money. The bag has no padding and it made of paper. Disappointed.

Wouldn't buy again I don't think
Got this because of good reviews for my rats. They don't really care for It plus most of the pellets are smashed to dust. Wayyy to much dust and crumbs.

Love the big bag!
My rats loved oxbow, but after not being able to find a big enough bag to feed 12 rats (with another litter on the way) this was the cheapest acne best option for them.
They love it, they're super happy with it and I plan to get a food storage container for easier keeping (and so it lasts longer). So far so good though and I will definitely be getting it again for them!
It also came about 3 days after purchase which worked out perfectly as their last bag of oxbow had just run out the night before.
10/10 would recommend, especially if you need it within a shorter time frame!

Great deal
Great price and its a trusted brand I've heard so much about however my picky critters won't touch this. No fault of Chewy or the brand and I should have gotten a smaller package to try.

Buyer beware of the big bag
So the small bags I get from chewy are always fine. However, I bought the big bag last time and the food not only turned to dust within a few weeks but the inside got hot and started to stink and basically it decomposed. I think I got a bad batch. I bought another big bag and I'm hoping for the best..
